    Climate change affects the daily lives of everyone in the EU and has significant environmental, economic, social and health impacts. To tackle this, the European Green Deal was adopted in 2019. This report examines the Green Deal from a fundamental rights perspective, with the aim of protecting the right to a safe, clean, healthy and sustainable environment for all. It highlights the lack of fundamental rights in EU climate policy and the need to incorporate these rights into future legislation. It also considers how applying a human-rights-based approach to climate policy could support a fair and inclusive transition.

    The rights of victims of crime to access justice and to be protected against repeat victimisation may remain illusory in practice if the victim fails to receive professional advice and support. This research by the European Union Agency
    for Fundamental Rights (FRA) examines support service provision for such victims across the 28 EU Member States, in line with the 2012 EU Victims’ Directive. It focuses not on abstract fundamental rights standards but on the final
    practical results.

    Trans persons, or those whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex assigned them at birth, face frequent discrimination, harassment and violence across the European Union (EU) today. This reality triggers fears that persuade many to hide or disguise their true selves. This report examines issues of equal treatment and discrimination on two grounds, namely sexual orientation and gender identity. It analyses data on the experiences of 6,579 trans respondents from the EU Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) survey, the largest body of empirical evidence of its kind to date.

EU Member States have different rules, regulations and guidelines regarding the participation of children in research, in particular concerning ethics approval and informed consent.
    This video was shown in the beginning of the high-level conference “Tackling sexual orientation and gender identity discrimination: next steps in EU and Member State policy making”.

    Die Europäische Union (EU) und ihre Mitgliedstaaten haben 2013 eine Vielzahl wichtiger Schritte zum Schutz und zur Förderung der Grundrechte gesetzt, indem sie neue internationale Verpflichtungen eingegangen sind, Rechtsvorschriften überarbeitet und innovative politische Strategien vor Ort verfolgt haben. Dennoch gerieten Grundrechtsverletzungen mit besorgniserregender Häufigkeit in die Schlagzeilen: Flüchtlinge, die vor den Küsten Europas ertranken, beispiellose Massenüberwachung, rassistisch und extremistisch motivierte Morde, Kinderarmut und Benachteiligung der Roma.

    präzisiert, und die Bedeutung der Rolle der Vormünder und gesetzlichen Vertreter bei
    der Verhütung von Missbrauch und Ausbeutung, bei der Reaktion darauf und beim
    Schutz und der Unterstützung von Kindern, die Opfer von Menschenhandel sind, wird
    herausgestellt.

    This FRA survey is the first of its kind on violence against women across the 28 Member States of the European Union (EU). It is based on interviews with 42,000 women across the EU, who were asked about their experiences of physical, sexual and psychological violence, including incidents of intimate partner violence (‘domestic violence’).
    FRA helps EU institutions and countries in the European Union (EU), so-called EU Member States, to ensure that the rights of all people including children are respected. It collects information about rights across the EU and gives advice on how to improve the conditions of vulnerable people such as migrants, asylum seekers, victims of violence, racism and hate crime.

    verdienen die Achtung und das Vertrauen der Öffentlichkeit. Unter dieser Voraussetzung möchte dieses Handbuch

    Im Rahmen dieser Erhebung der FRA wurden erstmals
    in einer Reihe von Mitgliedstaaten – Belgien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Italien, Lettland, Schweden, Ungarn und
    Vereinigtes Königreich – vergleichbare Daten über die Erfahrungen und Wahrnehmungen der jüdischen Bevölkerung
    im Zusammenhang mit Antisemitismus, Hasskriminalität und Diskriminierung zusammengetragen. Ihre Ergebnisse
    belegen eine beunruhigend starke Diskriminierung, insbesondere in den Bereichen Beschäftigung und Bildung,
    eine weitverbreitete Furcht vor Viktimisierung und eine zunehmende Besorgnis angesichts des Antisemitismus im
    Internet.

    Beleidigungen, Diskriminierung, Belästigungen und sogar körperlicher Gewalt bleiben für Juden in der Europäischen Union (EU) Bestandteil ihres Alltags. Trotz gemeinsamer Bestrebungen der EU und ihrer Mitgliedstaaten gehören diese Probleme immer noch nicht der Vergangenheit an. Viele wichtige Rechte werden zwar gesetzlich garantiert, doch weit verbreitete und auch hartnäckige Vorurteile hindern Juden weiterhin daran, diese Rechte auch tatsächlich wahrnehmen zu können.
